Keling and Automation Tec is the same place they just put up a new web site and the old one is still running.
I second the box problem. A comp case would be a pain. You need to be able to work on, add circuits, tune the system without havin gto tear it up doing so. What got me by cheap but still provided good strenth and size was going to Sears and picking up one of there wall cabinets made for a shop ( Gladiator I believe it is). I got it on sale for 79.00 so not bad on price.
The system you listed is good, the 320x drivers are great, but, the DMM A/C servo kits are really a lot better in many ways. Nothing againist quality to the other systems its just a A/C system is smoother, quiter, no brushes to wear, less noise in the system to cause problems with missing steps and such.
If you do go with the DC servo kit I would suggest gettting your power supply dirrect from Antec. The one Keling/AUtomotive tec offers is nothing more than a 1000watt unit with a extra rectifier & cap module. Get the one from Antec and it will have two modules just like the one at Keling, plus it is 1500watts and there is a big difference. I bought the one from Keling and I have the 850 servos with 320 drives and the sysytem really needs the bigger supply. Yes it can run with the other, but it can run better with the true 1500watt unit, plus not work the PS as hard. In a nut sheal the system will be more stable and tune better. Like I said I bought the one they sale, then I took it apart to find the ANtect 1000watt unit transformer in it (they claim 1440 watts, which happens to be what the Geckos need for three of them, but there going by peak watts and you will get RMS watt rating with the Antec). It will be about 30.00 more, but its worth it for the bigger unit.
You have to remember yuo will not get the rated RPM out of the DC servos. This is normal and nothing to worry with, but it will effect your gear/belt drive ratio choices. I have never ran the 1125 size servo, the 850's have a ton of power if givin the right voltage/amps. AT this piont in my learning curve I would go with the 850's just for the sake of keeping some strain off the Gecko's compaird to the bigger motors. The truth is the 1125 may work better, I just dont know right now, but this is my thinking on it at this point.
The encoders you listed are very good, and I may be mistaking but I think the 320x has some things to make them run more stable, all though a resistor and/or cap may need to be added for stability. What ever it list to run with them it does work and these encoders run very smooth afterwards. On my system I have the older 320's and you have to add a capasitor to get stability with them, but they run great with the caps added.
Your budget will effect alot of what you could run. I agree with Jid2, if yuo can afford it the Flashcut is abit more on the industrial side of things compaired to Mach. DOnt get me wrong Mach is great and you cant beat the price or the customer service plus the user input. But you will also need it, it takes abit of fiddling to get Mach where you want it with a system and then it may have its limits compaired to something a bit more industrial. Remember for Mach you need the main program, then addons, and maybe even some other stuff you might wish to have. Then adding a SmoothStepper ( if yuo want to run any kinda rapids), a BOB you quickly get to where you have spent atleast half of what FlashCut will run, and in some case more than half. So its something to consider and weigh against your budget. I myself would go with Flashcut if I had the funds, all though I did go with Mach, but I also didn't understand the differences or know the pricing at the time I purchased.
AGain alot depends on your budget, and even how much you are willing to work with things to get them the way you want, and the level of performance you want. My system has a lot fo what I just said may not be as good as other choices. Its starting to prove to be stable and it will give good performance. But I have seen where I could have had a bit better if the right parts where picked. Do I really need it to be that much better? I cant really say just yet, but I feel sure I can make use of it being better. SO the question is, what do you need your machine to do?
